It was something that Chelsea fans had been calling to happen for most of the season and finally they got to see Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata start up front together at Burnley.

The fact that the Blues were playing two up top is something of a rarity, with it being the first time since Diego Costa and Loic Remy both started away to West Brom in May 2015.

Morata and Giroud have been on the pitch at the same time before, however this was the first time this season that both have led the line and there was some early promise in the game.

The fact that there was two strikers meant that both centre-backs James Tarkowski and Kevin Long had a physical player on their hands and it almost paid dividends twice in the space of the first ten minutes.

Giroud was slipped in by Cesar Azpilicueta and had a big shout for a penalty turned down. Meanwhile, Morata got behind the defence and forced Nick Pope into a save at his near post.

But it is the effect it had on the rest of the team that still has some work to be done, especially Pedro. As it was a 3-5-2, it meant that the Spain international had a bit more of a defensive role in mind.

Without the ball, the defence set up with a bank of five, with Pedro then joining Tiemoue Bakayoko and N'Golo Kante in the three in the middle.

With the ball, Pedro was then expected to spring forward and find the creativity that would most likely be the usual role of Cesc Fabregas, who was on the pitch.

That extra width for Victor Moses led to the opening goal as he played the cross into the two front men and Long then turned the ball into his own net to give the Blues the lead.

In the opening exchanges, the formation that many Chelsea fans had been calling for certainly paid off, although there is still work to be done with the link-up play between them.
